This is a remade Nagoya obi (synthetic fiber). The sash end is separate, so you can pair it with your own belt or sash belt, or you can tuck the sash end in and use a帯締め (obi-jime) to tie it like a regular obi knot (Otaiko). Please check the photos for the size. The photos show the obi with an obi-age draped over a sponge. This is an unlined obi. It is sheer, and because the lining is light blue, it also appears as a light gray. Thank you to those who understand handmade and recycled items. It will be shipped via Yu-Packet Post. It will be folded compactly for shipping. We do not use excessive packaging (only an inner bag and an outer bag), so please be careful not to use a blade when opening. This is a one-of-a-kind item.
